This adds baking support to simulation nodes.
The following features are supported:
* Bake simulation nodes of selected objects from the new "Baking" panel in the
object properties.
* Free baked/cached simulation data.
* The bake is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file (so it's necessary
to save before baking works).
* Baked data is detected automatically when reloading the file.
* The data stored on disk is partially deduplicated. Only duplicates that can be
detected using implicit-sharing are taken into account.
* The baked data can contain meshes, curves, pointclouds and instances.
* The simulation state is written using a combination raw binary files for the
data arrays and `.json` for meta data. Other formats besides `.json` could be
used (most code is agnostic to that), but json is the easiest to use right now and
seems to be good enough the common use cases (note that the size of the `.json`
files do not depend on how large e.g. the baked mesh is).
* During baking, there is a progress bar and it can be interrupted using escape.
Limitations:
* Volumes are not written to disk yet.
* Currently it always bakes the entire scene frame range.
* Baking subframes is supported internally, but is not exposed in the UI.
* Currently, all attributes are written, but that is likely not necessary in most
cases (e.g. selection attributes are written as well).

The node outputs the index of the closest element to itself. See #102387
for the original design.
This is different from the Sample Nearest node in two important ways:
* It does not have a geometry input, instead the geometry is taken from the
field evaluation context.
* The node can exclude the "current" element from the search.
* The group id input can be used to build subsets of elements that only
consider each other as neighbors and ignore elements with other ids.

An operator to allow interactive text selection for 3D Text Objects.
This is from the code of Yash Dabhade (yashdabhade) for GSoC 2022
with corrections and simplifications. Also includes double-click for
word selection.

This patch adds several tools and options to the weight paint mode of Grease Pencil.
* Blur tool: smooths out vertex weights, by calculating a gaussian blur of adjacent vertices.
* Average tool: painting the average weight from all weights under the brush.
* Smear tool: smudges weights by grabbing the weights under the brush and 'dragging' them.
* With the + and - icons in the toolbar, the user can easily switch between adding and subtracting weight while drawing weights.
* With shortcut `D` you can toggle between these two.
* The auto-normalize options ensures that all bone-deforming vertex groups add up to 1.0 while weight painting.
* With `Ctrl-F` a radial control for weight is invoked (in addition to the radial controls for brush size and strength).
* With `Ctrl-RMB` the user can sample the weight. This sets the brush Weight from the weight under the cursor.
* When painting weights in vertex groups for bones, the user can quickly switch to another vertex group by clicking on a bone with `Ctrl-LMB`.
For this to work, follow these steps:
* Select the armature and switch to Pose Mode.
* Select your Grease Pencil object and switch immediately to Weight Paint Mode.
* Select a bone in the armature with `Ctrl-LMB`. The corresponding vertex group is automatically activated.

Do not show asset metadata "description", "license", "copyright", or
"author" if they are empty AND read-only, since they can't be edited
and contain no useful information to show.

This adds new movement types TEXT_BEGIN and TEXT_END to allow
FONT_OT_move and FONT_OT_move_select operators move the text
cursor (caret) to the top and bottom of the text.

This allows toggling of text styles of selected text and at the current
mouse cursor position if nothing is selected.

Adds a submenu to the File Browser selected item context menu that
allows opening the item or viewing the location in an OS browsing
window. On Win32 also allows other actions like editing, searching,
opening command prompt, etc.
Pull Request: blender/blender#104531
Changed the menu operators:
Expand Mask by Topology (hotkey Shift A)
Expand Mask by Normals (hotkey Shift Alt A)
Expand Face Set by Topology (hotkey Shift W)
Expand Active Face Set (hotkey Shift Alt W)
so that their hotkeys would appear in their menu entries.

Rebased for main instead of sculpt-dev
The built-in brush identifier didn't match the enum name causing
brush assignment not to update the tool-system (clearing the tool).
Resolve by using generate_from_enum_ex(..) to avoid each brush
definition having to manually duplicate enum definitions.
Also avoid using a dict as a default argument. While it didn't cause
problems - in general it's bad practice and worth avoiding as any
modifications produce strange behavior.
Use names:
- `tool_settings` instead of `ts`.
- `props` instead of `op` / `prop` / `op_props`
As Python may reference operators, don't confuse the operator
properties with an instance of the operator.
In both cases these names were already used for most scripts.
Change Text Object character `kern` member to float from int, and allow
fractional changes to kerning with Shift-Alt-arrows.

- "Lens" can be a transparent object used in cameras, or specifically
its property of focal length
- "Empty" can be an adjective meaning void, or an object type. The
latter is already disambiguated using `ID_ID`
- "New" and "Old" are adjectives that can have agreements in some
languages
- "Modified" is an adjective that can have agreement in some languages
- "Clipping" can be a property of a camera, or a behavior of the
mirror modifier
- "Value" in HSV nodes, see #105113
- "Area" in the Face Area geometry node, can mean a measurement or a
window type
- "New" is an adjective that can have agreement
- "Tab" can be a UI element or a whitespace character
- "Volume" can mean a measurement or an object type. The latter is
already disambiguated using `ID_ID`
These changes introduce the new `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_TIME` translation
context.
They also remove `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_VIRTUAL_REALITY`, which I added at
one point but then couldn't find which messages I wanted to fix with
it.

This property is not editable after 7966cd16d6,
though doing so didn't seem to give an error. It doesn't have
to be set anymore, since the data is redundant with the
"loop_start" anyway.
Links created through the normal Python API are invalid since
7026096099. Before then, one could create links to or from virtual
sockets from Python (grayed out sockets in Group Input and Group
Output nodes), as is still possible in the GUI.
This is documented as an API change, and it broke at least Node
Wrangler, see blender/blender-addons#104470. Instead of just fixing
that, let's introduce an API to make this operation simpler.

Mistake in ba25023d22, updated the drawing code with the wrong function
call. So when setting the add-ons category to "User", add-ons installed
in the user paths (custom paths configured in Preferences) wouldn't show
up.
`script_paths()` wasn't updated correctly, but that was hidden by some
compabtibility logic that was in the patch earlier. Only with my last
change to the PR before merging it that was removed and the error became
quite visible.
